Each year you can pull your credit
report for free. Your credit
report is the gateway to many aspects of your life. If your
credit report has errors or it is merged with another person, that
doorway becomes harder to open. Opening up a bank account,
getting a car loan, obtaining a mortgage, rent an apartment or
write a check at your local grocery store. Employers and
potential employers can check your background by pulling your
reports. You need to know your
credit history. Pull your report today!

There are three main credit reporting agencies -
Equifax, Experian and Trans Union. You can order
your report from each agency directly or pull all three by using annualcreditreport.com website. If
you want a score, that will cost you extra.

You don't want to make all those
calls?
You are entitled to ONE FREE COPY of each of your three credit
reports each year by accessing this website: annualcreditreport.com or by calling:
1-877-322-8228.

What if I have trouble ordering my report
on-line?
Call the agency directly or mail a written request. Remember
if you send anything to the bureaus, save a copy and spend a little
extra to mail it certified mail. You always want to keep a
paper trail.
